Cast On: A Beginner’s Knitting Experience with Karen Lerner of 333Knits

Ready to transform yarn into something amazing?
Join Karen Lerner of 333Knits for a cozy, hands-on journey into the wonderful world of knitting! This workshop is meant to follow Karen’s recent Knitting Workshop where participants made their first hats. If you did not complete that workshop and are new to knitting, you may sign up for this workshop and create a hat. Questions? Just ask!
Over three carefully designed sessions (April 8, April 15 and April 29), you’ll learn everything you need to create your very first knitted vest—from casting on your first stitch to joining the shoulders of your finished masterpiece. Karen will guide you through the fundamentals with patience, humor, and plenty of encouragement, making sure no one gets left in a tangle!
What You’ll Learn:
• Casting on
• The essential knit stitch
• Reading a simple pattern
• Troubleshooting common mistakes (we all make them!)
• Finishing techniques to complete your vest
What’s Included: A beginner-friendly vest pattern is included in the workshop fee.
Anthony Torres will be assisting Karen and bringing yarn to purchase from Pick Up Every Stitch.
Schedule:
• Week 1: Wednesday, April 8, 7 to 8pm
• Week 2: Wednesday, April 15, 7 to 8pm
• Week 3: Wednesday, April 29, 7 to 8pm
This thoughtfully spaced schedule gives you time to practice between sessions and come back with questions. By your final class, you’ll be proudly wearing (or gifting!) your handmade vest and ready to tackle your next project.
Reserve your spot and discover the joy of creating with your own two hands!

About Pick Up Every Stitch
It starts with the name: “Pick Up Every Stitch™” It means: ‘Do things right.’
For us, that means providing everything that lovers of knitting and crocheting love: working with independent companies that offer gorgeous colors, a sense of craft and inspiring originality; carrying yarns that appeal to our fingers and our creativity; and creating the kind of place (offline!), where we can learn from each other, hang out and knit a community that keeps us real.
We are located at 200 Main Street in Mt. Kisco, NY, in the municipal lot behind Lefteris, off Dakin Ave. Our fiber enthusiasts come from all over, including Westchester, Hudson Valley, Rockland County, the 5 Boroughs, and Southern Connecticut. We hope you enjoy visiting this Westchester yarn shop.
